We, source, design & fabricate Aluminum Metal “Cabinet” Furniture with over 27 participating factories

We work with factories that produce metal cabinets. We help design, source, configure, text, and ship the cabinets to our customers. We deal directly with the factories with our team of bilingual engineers as design and manufacturing of products is our life.

What used to be the norm in the 1960’s, replacing the traditional wooden kitchen shelving, well designed Aluminum Cabinets has become synonymous with quality, performance and style. These are the exact cabinet furniture that you can find in any upscale modern kitchen, except that they are made our of durable metal.

We have been working with a number of factories that specialize in these systems. And they are “light years” more advanced over anything produced decades ago. They use aluminum (that won’t rust or corrode), they have strong durable hinges and rollers. Their operation is smooth, and substantive. They are available in a wide range of colors and finishes, and are very attractive to the eye.

They can be used anywhere where security and safety are required. They are also perfect for high traffic area that would take a lot of abuse and use.

These products have a very unique role. As they are very useful. These products are used in everything from mechanic “tool boxes” to industrial storage systems, to residential kitchen cabinet systems.

We can produce these products in any configuration that the reader (or hopefully, customer) can think of. Our kitchens, aluminum toolboxes and cabinet systems used by those who demand only the best.

Here’s a quick overview…

Workspace Areas

Metal Cabinet Systems (modular) that are used and useful in home garages, home workshops and other areas where tools are stored and used. They come in a wide selection of modular components, and colors.

Perhaps one of the most well known areas (in the United States) that use these modular systems is in workspace areas. You do not need to be a member of the Daytona 500, or NASCAR to have a well equipped and laid out operation. If you have a tool, or a set of tools, there is nothing finer than having them well organized and stored properly.

Restaurants

All restaurants need a customer accessible kiosk that is easy to clean, durable, and meets local health regulations. Aluminum indoor/outdoor cabinetry systems are ideal for this application.
Aluminum indoor/outdoor cabinetry systems are the perfect choice for restaurants that provide customer kiosks in high traffic areas.

When involved in food preparation the default material of choice is stainless steel. Often brushed to a high gloss finish. However, this is not always the first choice for customer accessible areas in the food serving area. In America (as well as in other nations), customers prefer to have wood grain, attractive and colorful beverage counters. And restaurants need a kiosk that is easy to clean, durable, and meets local health regulations. Aluminum indoor/outdoor cabinetry systems are ideal for this application.

Home Kitchens

Typically modern American kitchens are made out of wooden cabinets, but that is not the only choice available.  There is a far cheaper alternative. That is high durability aluminum metal cabinets.
Aluminum metal cabinet systems are a practical, and beautiful as well as cost-effective system for the modern, well equipped kitchen.

One advantage about painted metal cabinets over wooden kitchen cabinets, aside from cost, is the ability to coat all surfaces with anti-bacterial and anti0virial paints and coatings. Wood is porous and can absorb tiny microbes. Painted meal forms a thick durable shield, and when anti-bacterial and viral agents are used, it become a most hygienic solution for the modern home.

Household Storage

Aluminum metal cabinet systems are perfect for long duration, durable systems for household use. They can be customized in any number of colors or finishes.
With modern finishes or natural wood overlays or laminates, the durability of a household aluminum cabinet storage system is beautiful as well as functional.

The residential household market is saturated with particle board, and plywood furniture systems. These very cheap wood solutions are provided with a thin laminate over the outer face to provide the appearance of a nice wood grain, but the first egress of moisture into the unit, or the first time you need to re-tap a screw, the entire unit is destroyed. Not so with aluminum metal cabinetry. These units are durable. Water makes no difference with it what so ever. Holes can be re-tapped and reused on demand. The components can be removed and reassembled without worry, or problems.

Hospital & Fire

Both aluminum and stainless steel are frequently used in healthcare installations. Each of these high-performance metals offers unique benefits and properties, specifically suited to different applications within hospitals and Ambulatory Surgical Centers. How do you choose which material is most appropriate for your use? Architects, Medical Equipment Planners and SPD managers may question which material to request, especially in the specification of Stainless Steel Hospital Pass Thru Windows vs. Aluminum Pass-Thru Windows for Sterile Processing. 

Aluminum cabinets provide a strong, durable and safe structure for the storage of medical gear and equipment. We can provide a wide selection of shapes and sizes to choose from, and we can work with the customer to find the perfect configuration for the issue at hand.
Aluminum cabinets provide a strong, durable and safe structure for the storage of medical gear and equipment.

There are arguments pro an con for the material selection of material cabinetry in hospital and emergency settings. Unless specified, specifically, by the architect, aluminum is the best solution for normal day-to-day use in the storage and utility of hospital and emergency equipment. While stainless steel is necessitated for specific medical purposes. If any cabinet is involved in an area with large heavy machinery, steel is the preferred material due to it’s strength and durability.

Stainless Steel, by volume, is three times heavier than aluminum. This is important, depending on your requirements. Heavier metals are stronger.

Weight. Aluminum and aluminum alloys are known for their lightweight, characteristics. Its versatility makes it suited to automotive, rail and aerospace industries.  If the installation is light- duty (supplies, tools, mobile carts), more ease of use may be provided from aluminum components. However, in structural and heavy-duty use applications, stainless will be a better alternative.

Strength.Stainless Steel’s increased weight provides increased strength. It is not likely to bend under pressure. Stainless Steel withstands stress, shock, pressure, and impact, in a manner that aluminum cannot. Stainless steel is best for a wide range of structural purposes and applications. Unless one is using pneumatic of heavy equipment (such as forklifts) Aluminum is probably the better material for storage purposes.

Durability. Along with being stronger than aluminum, stainless steel is far more durable. It holds up in corrosive environments and is less likely to scratch. Products that require heavy duty, constant use, such as Hospital Sterile Processing Department, SPD, Central Sterile, or Decontamination, require Stainless Steel Hospital Pass Thru Windows to transfer surgical tools and instruments. Aluminum Pass Thru Windows are more suitable for light-duty customer service applications. Only Stainless Steel Hospital Pass Thru Windows are clean room grade.

Schools

The needs of schools, universities, and colleges to organize and store equipment requires strong and durable (easy to clean) materials. Wood is not the preferred material, and neither is brushed medical grade stainless steel. Instead, well-deigned and durable metal cabinets provide the for the requirements of modern schools.

Other applications

Over the last few decades as real “hard woods” have been replaced with “soft woods” in the manufacturing of furniture, and then only to be displaced by cheaper composites, we have a situation where only the very wealthy can afford real hard wood furnishings. The only price competitive alternative is the often fragile wood composites with laminate exteriors.

That is what it appears.

But that is false. Fully economical, durable and hygienic aluminum metal alternative are available. You can paint or treat the outside with any kind of surface that you can think of, up to and including wood laminates. All you need to do is inquire and we can work out the various details.
